Chapter 434: Chapter 434: Tianji Sect’s Calculation

Long Qie asked, "Then, Mr. Xiao, what should we do?"

Xiao Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Both of these men come from the sacred grounds of martial arts and have extraordinary backgrounds. Their own strengths are also immeasurably powerful, incomparable to the likes of Hozon.

When dealing with them, we must not act rashly; otherwise, the consequences will be severe. Therefore, tomorrow, join me in paying a visit to these two. I want to have a talk with them."

Long Qie said, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zheng smiled and muttered to himself, "I didn’t expect the rival of the Eight-faced Buddha to be quite formidable. Well, let me take care of this for you."

...

The Qinglin Sect and Huashan Sect were not located in Zhonghai City but in Nan City.

The next day, Xiao Zheng, together with Long Qie, rushed to Nan City.

First, they arrived at the location of the Qinglin Sect. In Nan City, the Qinglin Sect was a top force, having secured a mountain through various means to serve as their sect’s residence. Looking around, villas were hidden among mountain peaks, surrounded by trees, which emanated luxury amidst the tranquillity.

Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Qing Linfeng comes from the Shaolin Sect, which is considered sacred in Buddhism and values a pure and simple desire. I did not expect that after he returned to secular life, he would transform his place into something so luxurious. It seems that Qing Linfeng has a significant attachment to worldly desires," Xiao Zheng noted with a profound gleam in his eyes.

Xiao Zheng and Long Qie walked into the mountain and faced a large gate at the start of the mountain path, guarded by two Qinglin Sect disciples.

Xiao Zheng glanced at Long Qie.

Long Qie, understanding the silent signal, nodded, stepped forward, and said to one of the gatekeeping disciples, "The Master of Tianji Sect has come to visit the Qinglin Sect Leader; please help us notify him."

"Tianji Sect?"

The two gatekeeping disciples were taken aback upon hearing this.

Nan City was close to Zhonghai City, and the two of them naturally had heard of Tianji Sect, knowing it to be a dominant force in Zhonghai City, very powerful!

"Please wait a moment."

One of the gatekeeping disciples spoke and then ran into the mountain. The other took Xiao Zheng and Long Qie to a reception room.

Shortly thereafter, Xiao Zheng and Long Qie saw an old man with white hair walk in from outside, a smile on his face, as he said, "I was unaware of the Master of Tianji Sect’s visit; forgive me for not welcoming you from afar."

Xiao Zheng looked at the man and asked, "And you are?"

The white-haired old man chuckled and said, "I am the Qinglin Sect’s chief disciple, Qing Rushan. The Sect Leader is often immersed in martial arts training, hence all matters concerning the Qinglin Sect are entrusted to me."

Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "I have come here with an important matter to discuss with the Sect Master Qing; I would appreciate your assistance in introducing us."

Xiao Zheng was actually somewhat displeased. Who was he? The Master of Tianji Sect! A leader of a sect in his own right, and yet the Qinglin Sect only sent a disciple to receive him!

Among the forces of the Jianghu, such behavior was considered extremely impolite; it implied subtextually that this visitor was not worthy of meeting their Sect Master.

It was nearly akin to an insult!

However, Qing Rushan just laughed and said, "The Sect Master is currently engaged in martial arts training and has no time now. Whatever matters you have, you can discuss with me."

The tone was rather dismissive.

Xiao Zheng, upon hearing this, slightly furrowed his brows, already finding this quite displeasing. However, he hadn’t come here to fight but to negotiate with Qing Linfeng about the Eight-faced Buddha. Therefore, he still maintained a pleasant demeanor and said, "If that is the case, we can wait."

Qing Rushan, however, shook his head and said, "There is no need for you both to wait here. Whatever it is, you can tell me."

Long Qie glanced at Qing Rushan and sneered, "You are merely the chief disciple of the Qinglin Sect; what qualification do you have to converse with the Master of Tianji Sect?"

This was, after all, the truth.

Judging by their scales, both Tianji Sect and Qinglin Sect were comparable. However, now that the Sect Leader of Tianji Sect had come to visit, Qinglin Sect had only sent their senior disciple. It was hard to justify such a response.

Qing Rushan’s expression changed slightly, then a faint smile appeared as he spoke, "It seems you’ve been in Zhonghai City for too long and forgotten how vast the world is. What is Tianji Sect?

Our Qinglin Sect’s leader is a supreme expert, and behind us stands one of the holy lands of martial arts—the Shaolin Sect! For I, the senior disciple of the illustrious Qinglin Sect, to personally come to meet with you, is already giving you considerable honor. Don’t get too ahead of yourselves."

As Qing Rushan spoke, he lifted his head slightly, looking down at Xiao Zheng with a sense of arrogance in his eyes.

Clearly, he looked down on Xiao Zheng and his party!

"You..."

Enraged, Long Qie was about to stand up and teach Qing Rushan a lesson.

However, at this moment, Xiao Zheng gave a faint smile, held back Long Qie, and said, "Since this Sect Master is reluctant to meet with us, then let it be. Long Qie, let’s go."

"But..." Long Qie wanted to say more, but seeing Xiao Zheng shaking his head at him, he had to shut his mouth. He glared fiercely at Qing Rushan.

"Heh, safe travels. I won’t see you out."

Qing Rushan smiled faintly.

Xiao Zheng was unconcerned and left the room with Long Qie.

"Hmph!" Watching the two figures leave, Qing Rushan sneered to himself and thought disdainfully, "What is Tianji Sect? Merely a minor power, without background or strength. You think you’re worthy of seeing our Sect Leader? Dream on!"

...

After leaving the Qinglin Sect, Long Qie was dissatisfied and said to Xiao Zheng, "Humph, the Qinglin Sect is too arrogant, sending only a senior disciple to meet you."

Xiao Zheng replied, "It’s okay. Don’t we still have Huashan Sect to visit? Let’s check them out. After all, we came here to talk, not to fight."

Thus, the two made their way to the location of the Huashan Sect.

The address of Huashan Sect was beside a lake with rippling blue waves. A large cluster of buildings shone under the sunlight, radiating their substantial foundations.

This area in Nan City was incredibly valuable, but Huashan Sect occupied such a large expanse, a testament to their powerful presence here!

Xiao Zheng and Long Qie approached the gatekeeper disciple, revealed their identities, and asked him to pass on the message. The disciple led them to a small villa where they were told to wait.

However, after waiting for two or three hours, no one came.

Long Qie was somewhat hot-tempered and growing impatient, said resentfully, "What’s with Huashan Sect taking so long and not sending anyone over? Are they treating us like air?"

Xiao Zheng, however, remained calm and smiled, "No rush, let’s just wait."

Another hour passed, and finally someone arrived late and told them, "Our Sect Leader won’t see guests. If you have anything to say, you can tell me, and I’ll relay the message."

Long Qie angrily said, "Who do you think you are? Call your Sect Leader out! The Master of Tianji Sect has come here in person to visit him, is he still going to put on airs?"

Long Qie had refrained from using the name of Heavenly Net Evil God to test them, but unexpectedly, the result was more than he anticipated!

The identity of the Master of Tianji Sect was no longer effective.

The man rolled his eyes contemptuously, "Master of Tianji Sect? What is that supposed to be? The fact that I’m willing to relay your message is already showing you a lot of face. Don’t overstep your boundaries."

Long Qie’s eyes were nearly shooting fire.

He had never been so disrespected before.
